I think the titles self explanatory but I'll explain.

I (20) am coming back to fishing after like a 7 year hiatus. The main sort of fishing I liked to do is course fishing.

Theoretically- if I have a rod that says its rated for 12lb line is it actually safe to spool it to 12lb or should I go for 10lb line.

Asking cause I have a reel that appears to have some pretty lightweight mainline (I've forgotten what it was spooled with) and I'm thinking of respooling to 10/12 since one of the lakes I'm eying has carp up to 20lb.

My personal best carp when I was a little kid was a neat little 4.5lb common but I'd like to try and get something a little bigger hence the respooling questions.

Have a friend coming over for a weekend of course fishing. Live in southern essex and havent been out fishing in quite a long time (5 years) but I've got pretty much all the kit for fishing everything except pike in fresh water.

Wondering if you folks know of any day ticket lakes in the southern side if essex. Were willing to go for everything except pike and we dont really care about massive carp as we fish a max of about 10lb line with waggler fishing as a main.

Only thing we want is to not have to go to the ulez zone and hopefully £15 or less for the day.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Species: cat Age: 9 Gender: female Weight: around 6 kilos the last time she was weighed. Spayed/neutered: yes when she was 3 years old after an accidental litter. Status: house cat. No prior health concerns or real medical history other then her kittens and subsequent spay. She gets her boosters every year- flea treatment and worming bc we have a dog... and this is in the uk.

Last time I went to the vet- they said I should keep an eye on my girls teeth as they were sort of borderline concern.

Since then I have tried brushing her teeth to the best of my ability but it largely ends up with both of us getting stressed out about it and I had to stop after she began panting after our sessions which told me it was really distressing her rather then general discomfort.

She still likes to chew her way through her dry food which I've taken as a good sign but I'm wondering if perhaps someone could tell me what symptoms I should keep an eye out for if her teeth start getting worse.

I'm not asking for diagnosis. Just general symptoms that cats display since shes not been to the vet since she was spayed so I'm not really sure what behaviours she may exhibit ifsit does start to hurt.

As for what I'm doing I've checked all her food for sugar and carbohydrate contents and I've added more chewable treats to her diet but she refuses to touch anything that contains bones.

I do check her mouth regularly but it is very much a two man job so I can only manage it when my father is around but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for.

The reason I'm asking is because I was given the advice 'if she starts behaving strangely' and I'm worried that I'll start seeing everything as signs if I'm not told something more specific.

Tldr: what are some common symptoms that indicate if a cat is in oral discomfort/pain that may not be obvious.

Ok so as a general rule I dont really item hunt in the game. Like sure I do for the actual quests and I try to get all the scarecrows but in general I dont really look into how rare an item is or anything like that.

So i started a multiplayer world with my close friend- let's call him Mark. Mark is a profit maximiser in the game. He grinds to make the maximum money and he likes to collect whatever rare items he can and basically speed run a bit.

Were currently on the 6th of summer in our first year and while he spends most if his time in the mines grinding to get to the skull cavern key I spend my days looking after the animals, fishing and cutting trees etc.

As I mentioned before I dont really care about how rare an item is- if i like it I'll use it. I dont really research if it's common or not- especially if it's not a single use item.

This drives him nuts. I have two examples for why this is.

The first I will use is more recent. I went fishing- found a loot box and pulled out a kinda cool looking purple ring with 4 gems on it. I didnt pay it much attention but saw it had the glow effect and as such I put it on.

He saw me wandering around glowing in the dark and asked when I'd gotten the glow ring considering I hadnt been in the mines. I told him I'd found a ring while fishing and the above description.

Apparantly I fished up some sort of late game mining item..... it's now been confiscated so the miner can have it. (In exchange hes letting me use a bunch of his prize tickets for some items I've been wanting in the ticket machine)

Second of all- my charachter has green hair. During the first week of spring as I was clearing the farm I got a hat to drop. It's not the first time I'd gotten this hat- I have it like 3 times in single player so I figured it was common and just put it on since it looked like a bigger version of my hair.

Later on my friend was talking about how hed never seen this one specific hat ever in his saves and how it's a super rare item.

He tells me the name.

I pause, then check my inventory because it sounds familliar.

Guess who apparantly has had the living hat since week 1 of spring year one in our save.

Oops.

He really freaked out and told me it was the rarest hat in the game. His tone of voice was so funny and I was like "I've been wearing this for 2 weeks in game time- how did you never realise?"

Anyways the whole situation felt quite funny so I wanted to share it here.

My friend is now saying he wants to speed run to the casino and set me loose on the macheines. I dont think that's how chance works but- well I wont complain.

So a few weeks ago I was playing on Layton and found a big old herd of blacktail.

I snuck up on em and checked them all out only to see that there was a piebald doe in the herd so I took her out.

Problem is that when I did a boy from her group ran out and when I scanned him I stg he was a 5.

I figured I'd come back for him later but now I dont remember where it was. I've completely lost him.

It keeps me up at night sometomes- I mean that was almost definitely a diamond right?

I dont really know what to do- and I dont know if I want advice but - what the heck do you do in these situations???

I've recently started playing the game and I have none of the map dlcs.

I'm having quite a few issues with earning enough money to really get stuff done like taxidermying my hunts and getting stuff like tents etc

Atm I've only ever hunted on Layton and the best -forgive the pun- buck for my bang seems to be turkeys and ducks since it's not too hard to take out 2 or 3 from a flock and the big turkeys can be worth like twice as much as blacktail.

I need some advice on the best way to make money that you've found in the game- should I go on multiplayer and try hunting some valuable animals on other maps? Or is that silly.

So- I am one of what seems to be very few people who own absolutely 0 dlcs.

After a while I think I've finally decided I'm gonna treat myself to the atv- the tents and I'm planning on getting one of the dog packs just because I play solo so a companion would be nice.

I know the three packs are the bloodhound- the pointer and the labrador. Each of them has their own skills but I've heard that if you make them max level then you can train them on a secondary skill.

I'm asking you all what your favourite combination of skills are so I can try and make good choices about which dogs to get.

(About my play style incase this is relevant: I will happily hunt anything so I do enjoy stuff like hunting for ducks as well as stalking various prey. I tend not to even try and shoot anything unless I'm within 50 metres of it. One of my main struggles is finding prey rather then actually tracking it)

So I'm fairly new to the game.

My latest litter is a group of 5 with 4 girls and 1 boy. My issue is that the boy was born a kilo smaller then the girls.

I've not played much but I have noticed that if it reaches the point where all the pups but 1 are the right size for the rendezvous site the game sends more den raids to try and kill off the pup that is preventing progression.

I dont want this to happen if I can help it so I'm wondering if it woukd be possible to get the boy up to a similar weight as his sisters.

The way I'm imagining it woukd work would be to woof all the pups into the den but grab him so he stays out- then to feed just him and sleep then feed all the puppies to full. Then repeat the process so technically the boy is being fed twice as much.

I'm not sure if that would work or not though.
